A/N: I don't own the characters, or the voice. If I did that would be really excellent.
But I don't. The ideas are my own. Read and review please!
Fang Pov:
It was starting to rain. Actually starting wasn't the correct word, it had been raining for the last fifteen minutes, but fearless leader Max wouldn't land. It was a full blown thuderstorm, complete with deep grey sky and black clouds. The rain felt like icewater.
She had taken us up above the clouds, above the storm. The veiw was really amazing and the noise was deafening. But we wern't being rained on.
"max." Iggy yelled, "the storm is getting worse." Gazzy, nudge and angel nodded. But max was silent.
"we can't keep flying above the storm, if it get's bad.." Iggy paused as a boom shook the sky. He waited for a second and then continued. "we can't land."
"fine, look for a clear spot.." she began.
"there isn't a clear spot." Gazzy countered.
I looked at max, we had to go down, now.
"nudge, igg, grab my hands and do not let go." she said calmly.
"and?" I asked, eyeing angel and gazzy. Max turned to me.
"we are going to guide them down, a straight drop. Once we get on the ground we can find a cave or something. Go as fast as you can." She explained, almost yelling over another blast of sound.
Angel and gazzy grabbed my arms. Angel zipped celeste into my bag.
"there." gazzy said, pointing to a space of light grey in the clouds.
"pull in your wings, and take them out when i tell you." i said quickly. They nodded, and pulled in their wings. I tucked my own behind me and we dropped.
We had dived before, lots of times. None of them was anything like this, rain sprayed my face, cold as ice. The sky began to shake with sonic booms.I pulled angel and gazzy close to me, to get a better hold on them. Our speed increased, and the sky, ground and lighning meshed into a blur of grey and white. I heard angel scream...I closed my eyes, feeling slightly sick. The ground was bluring up to kill us but atleast i couldn't see it.
"open you eyes fang or were gonna die!" gazzy yelled as we dropped.
I snapped my eyes open, flairing my wings out a bit to slow our speed. We were still going fast, about one ten. And we were going to hit...
"Mountain Range!!!" Angel managed to utter between screams. Oh shit. There they were, big grey and scarier than any eraser i had ever seen.
"do something!" gazzy yelled. In a heartbeat i thought of a plan, max wouldn't like it and neither did i, but it was a plan.
"we have to get down." angel said solomly. i knew that, i also knew that a dead fall in this wind would get us down the fastest and probably break a few bones.
"do not open your wings more than half way." I said quickly, they both shot me looks grim surprise. Then they nodded.
I threw each of them away from my body, whipping my arms out, sending them spiraling away from me. On instinct their wings snapped open. They couldn't stay up here, the were safer on the gound.
"go."
Angel pulled in her wings and rocketed toward the ground, feet first. Gazzy looked at me for a split second, then pulled in his own wings, dropping fast after angel. I watched them dissapear into the grey mess of clouds and rain. They would be okay, the look in angel's eyes, the strength, fury and lethal determination. They would be okay. I spun in the air, scanning the sky for max, iggy and nudge.
Max Pov:
"max, this won't work!" Iggy screamed above the crashes of thunder and driving rain. I was three feet from him but i could bearly hear. We were freefalling through the violent sky, nudge holding my right hand and iggy my left. All around us there was lightning and icy rain. I had ordered them both to keep their wings in, the tips of my own stayed out. I was deprately trying to level us off.
"our combined weight and the volocity of our fall will result in..." iggy tried to explain.
"spit it out iggy!" nudge yelled at the top of her lungs. At the same moment a roar of thunder shook te sky and vibrated deep in my ribcage.
"together the three of us will fall too fast, " iggy explained. "we have to split up if we want o keep freefalling, or we'll all be unconsious when we hit the ground." The storm had become increasingly violent. A flash of lightning lit up the clouds not more than ten miles away. I didn't want to let nudge go alone in this. But i would be damned if i let iggy try.
Then we dropped out of the clouds and into the murky grey sky.
"holy.." nudge began.
"crap." i muttered. We had been dropping through clouds, but now we were in the dangerous part of the storm. We were below the clouds, in range of lightning and..
"Mountains!" Nudge began to scream, the big black and navy colored peaks appeared out of nowhere. I angled our drop so we would miss them, but that left the us dieing on impact issue.
"i am going to let go." i shouted above the thuder and rain.We weren't tumbling around, but we were still falling, and gaining speed wih each passing foot.
"what?" Nudge yelled, he fingernails dug into my arm a little. Ouch.
"don't let go until i say, okay..." i didn't say it as a question, it was an order. Iggy nodded, looking half drowned and pale. Nudge didn't say anything.
"nudge." i muttered soflty. She looked at me, a glint of fear and determination in her eyes.
"yeah, yeah let's do it." she replied, her grip on my arm relaxed.
we were about four thousand feet above the ground. If we split now we would separate too much, i couldn't spend time finding the flock with the storm this bad. As is we didn't know where fang, angel or gazzy were.
Fang Pov:
I couldn't see them, it was getting darker and the rain didn't help. So i dropped to the ground, spreading my wings out thirty feet before i hit the ground, pushing them down hard. I landed on my haunches, in a small clearing. I was on my feet in a second, looking around for gazzy, angel, max or any threat.
"fang!" I heard my name and spun around. Gazzy and angel were running at me, looking relived. I crouched a bit to get a better look at them. Angel had a few thin scratches running down her jaw, gazzy had a small gash on his forehead. I reached up to check how deep it was.
"it's nothing." gazzy assured me, brushing my hand away. "we hit some trees." I winced.
"we need to find someplace dry." angel spoke quietly.
"i know."
Max Pov:
"now." i said, releasing each of them at once. Iggy whipped out his wings and dove for the ground. Nudge followed him easily. That's my guys, fearless as all get out. i smiled and began my own dive.
I landed really close to nudge and iggy, almost hitting them when i landed. I crashed to the groung in a heap, tucking in my wings to keep the from getting damaged.
"ouch." i heard iggy say, "i felt that." I untangled myself and brushed the dirt off my jeans. Shaking the hair out of my eyes i looked at iggy and nudge. They were soaking wet and pale looking.
"how was your landing?" i asked, noticing that their jeans had no additional dirt smudges.
"good, all things considered. Better than yours was." iggy said smiling. Nudge nodded, staying silent.
"really?" i asked, picturing a crash landing twice as bad as my own. Iggy nodded.
"it was awsome, we'll have to do it again." this time i picked up the sacasm in his voice.
"come on, we have to find them." i said suddenly. They didn't need to ask who i meant, there were only three other people on earth i cared about. And as of this second i had no idea where they were.
yes you do.the voice, how appropriate.
Oh? and how do i find them, we're in the middle of a freaking hurricane.
technically no your not.
shut up, or help.
just follow the time.
great. another cryptic piece of advice.
"what did it say?" iggy asked calmly, taking a page from the fang book of vacant expressions.
"follow the time." i repeated. Iggy nodded, smiling.
"what?" nudge asked. Iggy tapped his watch.
"litrally the time, military personell use it as a directional tool. What time is it?" he asked, holding the watch to me.
"four."
In seconds we were gone, running at a breakneck pace through the woods.
Fang pov:
Eventually the found us. I had angel and gazzy hang out in a tree while i paced on the ground.
"here they come." angel said loudly. I stopped pacing and looked up at her. My eyebrow arched the slightest bit.
"i hear them," she said easily "they are a bit tired."
right, that was totally normal.
Sure enough max burst through the other side of the clearing, pausing as soon as she saw me. Iggy and nudge appeared seconds later, nudge smiled and them muttered to iggy, who smiled too.
"maxiggynudge" gazzy said in a rush, jumping out of the tree and running to them.
Max pov:
gazzy lept out of a tree and began to run at iggy, the last few steps gazzy jumped into the air and spread his wings. He and iggy collided both falling to the ground.
"good to see you too." iggy said smiling. Gazzy got off of him and helped iggy to his feet. Angel ran to my side, not tackling me but smiling.
"max." she said simply, hugging me tightly. I stroked her wet hair, and she pulled away.
I saw fang, sitting on a rock in the shadows. I slogged my way to him and sat down next to him. He was staring ahead blankly, his jaw set.
"fang." i asked slowly, "are you okay?" he turned his head to look at me.
"fine." he answered with a single word, his eyes never leaving my face.
"did you find a spot for camp?"
he didn't answer, just stood up and turned to me.
"don't ever do that again." his voice held the trace of an emotion that i had never heard before.
Fang pov:
I meant what i said, every word of it. I had panicked when i didn't know where she was. The idea that she might have flown off course or dropped into a tree at full speed...
It made me cringe.
As independent as i was, as much of an outcast as i appeared to be i needed one person on the planet. her. We somehow managed to complete eachother. My logic to her intuition, my calm to her pure emotion.
She was right behind me, still sitting on the rock. I could feel her eyes boring a hole into my neck. i turned, her face looked confused and shocked.
Max pov:
he turned back to me with pain in his eyes. I was confused, what did that mean? was he hurt, was angel or gazzy hurt? he walked toward me, i stood up.
in a flash his eyes changed, the pain swallowed by a diffrent emotion. love.
go with the flow maximum.
Fang wrapped his arms around me, resting his head on my sholder. For a second it was impossible to breath, to speak, to move.
"i love you." i heard him whisper. I moved my head so i could see his eyes. His face was pale, dark hair hung in front of his eyes, wet from rain. i reached up and brushed it away.
"i love you." i said softly.
Iggy pov:
"aww. look." angel said quietly, tugging my arm. I turne my head searching for sound, and heard nudge's voice.
"it's max and fang." she said in a hushed whisper, letting go of my arm. What are they doing...oh.
"finally." angel muttered happily.
"finally what?" i asked annoyed, "tell me!"
"they kissed." angel explained simply.
